Dubai visa extension checker

Extending a Dubai tourist visa costs AED 600 plus VAT, or AED 810 plus centre fees, or AED 100 plus AED 500 — depending which of three official pages you open. The rules on how many times differ too.

Three official descriptions of one procedure, and no two agree. The fee is AED 600 plus VAT, AED 810 plus unspecified centre fees, or AED 600 in two parts, depending on which government page you open. The number of extensions is “one or more”, exactly two, or “once or multiple”. We are not choosing. This is not legal advice — an extension that goes wrong becomes an overstay, so confirm with GDRFA or ICP directly before you rely on any of it.

Where the three diverge

GDRFA Dubai’s service card publishes AED 600 plus 5% VAT and allows extension “one or more times, not exceeding (120) days in total”. GDRFA’s own FAQ publishes AED 810 plus Amer Centre fees and says the visa can be “extended twice” — 30 days, then 20. ICP, the federal authority, publishes an AED 100 application fee plus AED 500, with the 120-day ceiling but no limit on the number.

Note what that means practically: under the FAQ you get 50 extra days across two extensions. Under the service card and ICP you could reach 120. That is not a pricing quibble, it is a different entitlement, and the consequence of assuming the wrong one is an overstay. Which is itself priced two different ways.

This is not legal or financial advice. It is arithmetic on figures published by named authorities, shown so you can check it. Where the amount matters to you, confirm it with the authority itself before you act.

All of them work the same way: published inputs, named sources, the arithmetic shown, and the missing pieces stated.

Common questions

How much does it cost to extend a Dubai tourist visa?

Three official answers. GDRFA Dubai's service card publishes AED 600 plus 5% VAT. GDRFA's FAQ publishes AED 810 plus Amer Centre fees. ICP publishes AED 100 for the application plus AED 500. None of the pages acknowledges the others.

How many times can I extend a Dubai visa?

The published answers differ. GDRFA's service card says 'one or more times, not exceeding (120) days in total'. Its FAQ says the visa can be 'extended twice' — 30 days then 20. ICP says 'once or multiple times' within the same 120-day ceiling. That is a difference of up to 70 days of entitlement.

What happens if my extension is refused?

No published source we found states what happens, or what notice you get. Because the alternative to a valid extension is an overstay, and the daily fine for that is itself published two different ways, this is a question for GDRFA or ICP directly rather than for any website.
